EVER been to a museum to see a different view of life, but came back disappointed because you couldn't quench your curiosity? You saw the skeleton of a huge animal on display, but you received no information of how it is important to your land or ecosystem.

No worries about that if you are heading to the Natural History Museum in Thiruvananthapuram as you will be provided a multilingual digital tour guide on a tablet phone. The country's first audio-visual digital guide for a museum, which was inaugurated by Museum Minister Kadannapalli Ramachandran last Wednesday, is expected to be open to the public in a few months.
